Last month, I asked the people over at #DiverseBookBloggers to tell me their favorite horror reads. A few lovelies replied, and I’ve read some of the books and shorts that were recommended to me.

I haven’t been able to get my paws on this one yet, and I’ve gotta admit, I’m a little bit hesitant to start it. The reviews I’ve seen haven’t been the most consistent, and you guys know how picky I am with horror.

2. The Final Empire – Brandon Sanderson

I was supposed to read this aaaaaages ago. A friend of mine recommended it to me a couple years ago (iirc) back when I was on a bit of a high fantasy bender. And for some reason I just never got around to reading this one?

I have no idea why. I have to rectify this soon.

BUT AT LEAST I HAVEN’T FORGOTTEN ABOUT IT, OKAY?

3. Shadowshaper – Daniel Jose Older

See, now this one I keep forgetting about.

Another friend of mine recommended this one to me, and it looks really interesting, but I read the blurb and I see it compared to a Cassandra Clare novel, and that gets my walls up real quick.

It does sound really interesting though.

I will read it.

Eventually.

4. Rosemary and Rue – Seanan McGuire

TWO of my friends recommended the October Daye series to me. And because they’re dating, I’m counting them as one person so that I seem less awful. Fight me.

Why haven’t I read it? Because I go through Urban Fantasy benders. I have to be in the mood to read a UF novel, and will literally never touch one until I am in the aforementioned mood.

I’m weird. I know.

5. Captive Prince – C.S Pacat

A friend on GR recommended this to me last year, and despite the 3++ stars its gotten from reviewers I trust, I am still yet to start this. Why? No idea. I just let my TBR rise to the height of the Empire State Building without a care in the world.

6. The Night Circus – Erin Morgenstern

I’ve lost count of the number of people who’ve recommended this to me.

Ahhh so many people have recommended “The Night Circus” to me, but I haven’t read it yet. Seems like the kind of book you can’t just breeze through, so I’m waiting until I can set aside a proper time to read it! And “Ready Player One” looks so interesting. I totally get running out of time to post, there aren’t enough hours in the day…where’s a time turner when you need one? 😛 🙂

Vicious is INCREDIBLE.😍 And basically all the Schwab books are afdjkalsd pure brilliance if you haven’t tried them yet. TOTALLY recommend from me too. 😉 Hehe, just in case your TBR wasn’t being demanding enough.😂
Thanks for stopping by @ Paper Fury!

So I hear! I really need to get started on it. I’ve read A Darker Shade of Magic and enjoyed it (even though Lila annoyed me sometimes) but I haven’t got my paws on Gathering of Shadows yet.
HAHAHA, great. MORE PRESSURE. THANKS, CAIT!

Also you don’t need to thank me, I love your blog and have been lowkey stalking it for a while now k thnx bai

Oh this is such a good list! I have the same problems, I keep MEANING to read the books but then… same as you haha. LOTS of people have recommended The Night Circus to me too, and still nope. I DO want to read Vicious very soon. (So I keep telling myself, anyway!) And The Girl From the Well. Seriously, I feel you! I hope you get to read them soon, and that you enjoy them as much as the people who recommended them did!
